Richard C Lee

Richard C. Lee serves as a Printing Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial printing services and related production solutions. In this role, he ensures the agency’s communication and documentation needs are met through compliant, cost-effective procurement of high-volume printed materials, including forms, reports, publications, and security-sensitive documents. His work supports mission-critical administrative and public-facing operations by aligning printing requirements with federal procurement regulations, quality standards, and delivery timelines. He exercises independent contracting authority for simplified acquisitions and collaborates with internal stakeholders to define technical specifications, evaluate vendor capabilities, and ensure adherence to federal printing guidelines. Lee’s contracting patterns reflect a consistent reliance on commercial printing vendors with established capabilities in digital and offset printing, bindery services, and secure document handling. While no specific contractor relationships are dominant, his procurement activity is characterized by engagement with experienced print service providers capable of meeting federal security, compliance, and turnaround requirements. He maintains a vendor ecosystem of established printers with proven track records in government contracting, prioritizing reliability, quality control, and timely delivery over niche specialization. Lee’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified commercial printers to meet volume, quality, and schedule demands, without formal preference for small business or disadvantaged business categories. His primary NAICS focus is 323115—Commercial Printing—which encompasses all aspects of commercial print production, including digital printing, lithography, large-format printing, and finishing services. He specializes in procuring high-volume, high-fidelity printed outputs requiring strict color accuracy, paper stock compliance, and secure handling protocols, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with print technologies and industry standards.
